SO SAD🙏❤️ BUT I DID A DOUBLE TAKE LOOKING A BIT LIKE RED FOXX
What an incredible Legacy to leave behind. I am honored to live and share the time that you lived on this planet. Now you belong to the ages.
I haver to dis agree with you the first internal kiss was on Star Trek before 67 and Sunset Poitier did Guess who's coming to Dinner don't remember the date on this ine
My bad. Thought it said James brown.
Rest in Peace Sir. You pass the torch to the next generation. The civil rights fight goes on, indeed it is in danger. It's time to return to the proverbial lunch counters. This time it's kid's school lunch counters, access to women's health care, senior's lunch counters… I could go on.
Time to wave the flags and mount the barricades. 😮
Beast.
great player and Man ❤
Rip
Not only the greatest running back in NFL history, he was also a great lacrosse player. He was an All-American at Syracuse University
RIP Big Jim Brown forever in our hearts
Jim Brown was one of the greatest running backs of all time. My personal GOAT pick is Walter Payton but Jim is probably 2nd GOAT. He was most definitely one of the greatest football players ever for sure. He did an excellent job playing the defensive coordinator Montezuma in Any Given Sunday a.k.a. one of the best movies ever about pro football. He was an ambassador to the game, an icon in Cleveland, and a legendary historical figure to the world. There will never be another Jim Brown.
Rest in Peace, Jim. Thank you for the memories. We will miss you. 🏈
